I recently had the amazing privilege of working with Word On Fire on a portrait of the late great G.K. Chesterton for their republication of his masterpiece, The Everlasting Man.

A huge thanks to Rozann Lee for the invite and for trusting me with the job.

Here we have a Charles Laplante engraving of a chap using one of Thomas Edison's phonographs, where you have to talk loudly into a mouthpiece attached to a stylus that cut a groove into a wax cylinder - whilst turning a handle to rotate the cylinder.

This engraving shows a lady with something like a theremin earpiece device. The same woman as in the 3/ but possibly a different artist. Note the similar hairstyle and different outfit.

Here the artist is Armand Kohl and someone called Gilbert who might have done the engraving

This engraving is from the same source, showing a chap using the same earpiece / mouthpieces as dual audio, before the invention of proper headphone straps.
